Top Cowboys' 1st-half highlights vs Commanders include NFL record breaker, knee drag
The Cowboys have most of their offense back, and proceeded to have a highlight-filled first half against the Commanders.
Kicker Brandon Aubrey entered the NFL record books after making a 61-yard field goal on Sunday. What record did he set?
The Commanders were among the biggest losers of NFL Week 7, as last year's NFC title game entrant is at risk of seeing its season slip away.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game in the second half after taking a sack and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Before his exit, he completed 12-of-22 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on the ground.
Helping Prescott’s effort today will be receiver George Pickens, who already has a career-high six touchdown catches this year. The last Cowboys player with seven touchdown receptions through the first seven games of a season was receiver Lance Rentzel, in 1969.
